Fresh chives with slender cylindrical green leaves.

Fresh chives

Fresh chives are a fine-cut herb used in and over Trentino’s bread dumplings.

Italian name
Erba cipollina
In the recipe
Canederli

At the table

Visit Trentino includes chives as an herb option in canederli and as a fresh garnish for the broth version. The small green pieces sit against the bread dumpling rather than forming a separate sauce.

Our suggestion: add the garnish when serving so you can choose its quantity at the table.
